If you enjoy science-fiction, it is quite possible that you wouldn't enjoy any of the books above or even classify them as science-fiction (I would though) -- so definitely look them up or try the kindle sample to see if they appeal to you.
Also, I see Ann Leckie's Ancillary trilogy mentioned elsewhere, I second that recommendation.
[Also, honourable mention to the TV show Westworld -- if it were a book I would have included.]
- brudgers 10y agoTo Say Nothing of the Dog won the Hugo for best novel in 1999. That probably makes it science fiction.
- elevensies 10y agoIt is a really great book, and I highly recommend it, but IIRC you could tear out about 20 pages and it would become historical fiction.
